Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
For many years, functional magnetic and dielectric composites have been attractive to both academia and industry in various applications, such as electric energy convention, wireless communication, sensors, biomedical treatment, etc. Modern challenges in the characteristics of these applications, including high power, lightweight, durability, and resource-friendliness, place more stringent demands for the research on functional magnetic and dielectric composites. To solve these challenges, it is crucial to understand the interaction mechanisms of multiphase magnetic and dielectric composite systems. Advanced fabrication techniques are also important for the effective assembly of magnetic and dielectric composites with complex microstructures. More importantly, the properties of magnetic and dielectric composites can be tailored by modifying the multiphase interaction or preparation methods. Driven by the extreme application environment, high-performance magnetic and dielectric composites which can withstand high power, high temperatures, high stress have seen a huge demand in experimental, theoretical and modeling activities.
This Special Issue of Coatings aims to provide a collection of papers focusing on the fabrication, properties, and applications of functional magnetic and dielectric composites. Original research articles and reviews are welcome in this Special Issue. Research topics welcome in this Special Issue may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Theoretical and experimental research on the interaction mechanisms of multiphase magnetic and dielectric composite systems;
- Recent developments in preparation methods of functional magnetic and dielectric composites;
- Advanced preparation techniques for high-performance magnetic and dielectric nanocomposites;.
- Theoretical and experimental research on complex microstructures of composites;
- Recent developments in characterization, test, and measurement methods for mechanical, chemical, and electrochemical properties and performances;
- Recent developments in novel application areas of functional magnetic and dielectric composites;
- Modeling, simulation, and calculation of the properties, performance, durability, and reliability of the composites in various applications.
- High-performance magnetic and dielectric composites for high power, high temperatures, high stress, and other extreme environment applications.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
